Dear Family

Well this week went well Elder Arterburn and I were able to find a new investigator through contacting old investigators. We were able to contact a man who previous missionaries lost contact with, they had taught him the first lesson but that was it, and Elder Arterburn and I were able to set up an appointment to teach him more! We were really excited about that.

Also this week our money didn’t come in on time so we had to wait till Tuesday to shop. Since it was a new month we had more money which meant we could buy good food instead of living off quesadillas… So we had a lot of groceries… Also when we got out of the grocery store it was like 40 degrees so we were burning up! Haha So we stuffed our backpacks with as much groceries as we could then tied our jackets to our back packs and hung bags of groceries to our handle bars because we had so much! Haha we looked ridiculous! Not only did we look like we were someone who biked around with all their possessions on them but we had to bike up a huge hill! It was a good experience. Haha

We also have been having problems with bikes this week, and surprisingly it’s not me! Haha So Elder Arterburn’s bike broke, and then the bike he was borrowing, that back axle broke! Haha So we have been walking for a couple days… We still get to talk to people but it takes forever to travel, oh well…

This week we had interviews with President Ely which was really good. I always enjoy that. He couldn’t believe that I came out in March almost a year ago!  It is crazy! We had a good interview and talked about a lot.

Also this week we went on exchanges and the District Leader,Elder Dass, came to our area and brought the car which was sweet. I got to drive for the second time since I have been out! Haha It felt weird… Since we had the car we were able to go out to Gunbarrel, this small town about 10 miles from the city of Louisville. We were able to see some members out there some other people. It was a good day, I learned a lot from Elder Dass.

This Sunday I had a really good fast. Also in church we had 2 non-members get up and bear their testimonies. One is an investigator of ours which was awesome! There other was a friend of a member in our ward, and we might start teaching her the lessons! I have really gained a testimony that fasting works. I also have received a stronger testimony that Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers even though there are so many other people in the world he still knows who I am and hears me.

Well I have to go but I love you guys so much! I hope you have a great week! I love you so much! Thanks for all that you do for me! Thanks for all of you prayers!

Love

Elder Lassen
